A Beginner’s Guide to Disposable vape

A disposable vape offers a good deal of satisfaction in every puff and decent features for its price. Offering a quick hit of nicotine on the go, a disposable vape is a good option for the weekend or on holiday, apart from that it is also a great option for those who are considering switching from smoking to vaping. Before you go all in with expensive vape devices, giving vaping a try with a disposable is a good decision.

How Do Disposable Vapes Work?

Disposable vapes operate effortlessly, typically without buttons, relying instead on being draw-activated. With a simple inhale, the device springs to life. Inside, a battery ignites a coil within a pre-filled pod, transforming the e-liquid into an inhalable vapor. 

Common coils used in disposable vapes include cotton and ceramic. Cotton coils are known for their ability to absorb e-liquid quickly, resulting in robust flavor production. On the other hand, ceramic coils offer a smoother vaping experience and can enhance the purity of flavor. The choice of coil can significantly impact the taste and nicotine hit of the vapor, providing vapers with a customizable experience tailored to their preferences.

One of the most appealing aspects of disposable vapes is their simplicity. Unpack, puff, and you're vaping. Their design requires little upkeep or cleaning, ensuring hassle-free enjoyment. These vapes feature pre-filled pods with an array of flavors and nicotine concentrations, catering to individual preferences. 

Whether you're craving fruity delights like mango or strawberry, indulging in classic tobacco flavors, or seeking the refreshing taste of menthol, disposable vapes offer a diverse range of options to suit every palate.

Satisfying Nicotine Hit at a Reasonable Price

Disposable vape is a cheaper option for getting mouthful clouds. It's a vape device that offers light in the pocket and heavy in satisfaction. One disposable vape can cost you around $10 to $30 depending on number of puffs you want. 

The 250 - 800 puffs can get you through the weekend, while the 3,000 to 6,000 puffs can be for those who prefer enjoying one flavor for up to a month. If you are the kind of person who actively vapes and likes to explore flavor, going with the 1000 puffs disposable may cost you around $13 to $15. That's even cheaper than a pack of cigarettes

With a lot of brands in the market, you may get overwhelmed with options. Well, it shouldn't be so. Here we're gonna share things you may want to know before buying a disposable vape for the first time. Let's check them out!

Which type of vapers are you?

There are usually two types of vapers, those who vape to stop smoking and social vapers who only vape when hanging out with friends. When you are about to buy a disposable vape, understanding what type of vaper you are is also important, not just prices 😉 The reason is, that they have quite a wide range of nicotine strength.

 Usually, a disposable vape has salt nicotine liquid in an individual tank, with nicotine strength ranging from 1% to 2%. Catering to the needs of both social vapers and ex-smokers transitioning to vaping.

If you are a beginner and have never been vaping or smoking before, choosing a disposable vape with lower nicotine strength is advisable. If you are a more experienced vaper or someone who's about to transition from smoking to vaping, then you may want to look for a disposable that offers more flavor options and higher nicotine strength.

Like regular bottles of nic salt or freebase, the e-liquid in disposable vapes has a variety of flavors. From mixed fruits, menthol, and classic tobacco. Your options are endless when it comes to flavors, our customers especially love fruity flavors like green apple, berries, and lemon. A disposable is a good go-to to satisfy your nicotine craving. You can find such products at our site VapecloudNZ.

You may wonder if you can recharge a disposable vape even if it doesn't say "Rechargeable battery". The answer is yes and no. You can do DIY charging by opening up your disposable vape and finding the cable and extension to recharge it. However, please note that it may cause damage to the liquid tank or cause a short circuit. It is not advisable to recharge your disposable if it doesn't have a charging port. 

As it is clear in the name, a disposable vape is a vape device that's meant to be disposed of as soon as the battery runs out.

Leaking Disposable Vape

There are a lot of factors contributing to a leaking Disposable Vape. In general, like other vape products, such as e-liquid, closed pods, or refillable pods, a disposable vape should be kept at room temperature and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for hours.

Pay attention to these points below should you consider purchasing one soon.

Temperature: Where do you keep it?

As mentioned before, disposable vape should be kept at room temperature. Internal damage to the coil, liquid tank, or liquid itself may happen if you are keeping them above or under room temperature for a long time. If this is your first time buying a disposable vape, make sure you keep it where it is safe and at room temperature.

Keeping the disposable at a lower or higher temperature may cause the liquid in the disposable vape to freeze or overheat. Moreover, this can cause a chemical breakdown that makes it change color and/or flavor. Who wants to vape a less tasty vape juice? 🥴


Air Pressure: How hard did you inhale your disposable vape?

This often happens not just with disposable vape, but also closed pods or refillable pods. Sometimes when you inhale it too hard, the vape juice is leaking from the mouthpiece as you suck it too hard before the liquid can even vaporizes. 

Another reason may be because the e-liquid inside the tank was over-filled and there isn't enough air in the cartridge or around the atomizer for vapor to form, so the formation of vapor forces liquid out the path of least resistance, i.e. into your mouth.

If it's leaking from the battery or just leaking out of the device when it's just sitting on the table or in your pocket, then the disposable is probably not sealed correctly. You need to throw it as soon as possible. 

Sometimes due to shipping, fell during delivery or mass production, this can happen in your disposable vape. If this ever happens to you when you purchase a disposable vape from us in-store or online, feel free to reach out to us directly, we'll be happy to assist you anytime.
